Hey Crummy78, I had a consultation with Dr. John Meilahn at Temple Hospital a few months ago, he suggested I get the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, because of my eating habits. I have to make a decision soon, because I continue to gain weight. :-( I'm glad things are much better, best of luck on your journey to weight loss. :-) Chika

Good morning everyone, I'm originally from Boston, currently reside in Philadelphia, been here for almost 5yrs now. I'm a single mother of a beautiful 3 year old girl; she is my sunshine and an inspiration to turn my life around. Currently in school, take care of my mother and work full and part time. I was told to join the website because the members on this site keep it real and any question's I may have, I can most certainly find the answer's here. About myself, I'm 30 yrs old and about 5'9...weighing over 300lbs :smile2::rolleyes2::drool::crying:I can go on endlessly on how I feel. I've been battling with the weight gain for almost 10yrs now. My goal is to weigh 175lbs or fit into a size 8!!! I am sweets and a fast food eater :w00t:...dislike veggies and fruits, even water! :thumbup: I've tried, weight watchers, Ediets, Medifast, Cookie Diet, over the counter meds, you named it I've tried it!! I strongly feel by submitting myself to the Lap Band and join a great support group I can shed these pounds for good. I really can't do this alone; I've failed doing so for 10yrs. I really look forward being part of this site and hope to speak with those that can relate to me. :glare: Chika

Thank you Ckelly :-)

Thank you in welcoming me to the site, can you tell me what complications you encoutered and where was your surgery done? Thanks, Chika

I'm still debating on which procedure to get? :-( I really appreciate for you stopping by and welcoming me onto the site. Have you decided and have a date yet?
